Is George Stephanopoulos leaving GMA? Fans of Good Morning America (GMA) are wondering if Stephanopoulos will return to the show. This was after his noticeable absence on June 26, just days after a brief return on June 24 following a one-week hiatus. Stephanopoulos has been a core part of GMA since 2009, so his absence did not go unnoticed. Fans are now asking about his whereabouts and why he did not show up.
So, if you are wondering where George Stephanopoulos is, here’s your answer.
Where is George Stephanopoulos?
George Stephanopoulos is likely in Ohio with his family right now, attending religious services for his late father Reverend Robert George Stephanopoulos, who passed away on June 19th. This explains his recent absence from Good Morning America.
As per Hello Magazine, Stephanopoulos’s father passed away while he, his wife Ali Wentworth, and daughters Elliott and Harper, were vacationing in Europe, which also explained his absence from GMA last week. Ali Wentworth publicly revealed the details on Instagram three days later, where she expressed her love for her father-in-law and shared many good things he did for them during his lifetime.
The post invited reactions from many people including GMA co-host and actress Glenn Close, who expressed sympathies and sent their love and prayers to the couple and their family.
However, as for his absence last week, it was not just his vacation in Europe. He was busy promoting his new book, The Situation Room.
However, George Stephanopoulos is not the only GMA co-anchor who has been absent recently. GMA co-anchors Michael Strahan and Robin Roberts were also conspicuously absent from the show. Hello Magazine also reported that Strahan was on summer vacation with his family.
Meanwhile, Robin Roberts is currently in Portugal. According to Soaps, she is there doing segments on several Americans traveling and relocating to the country.
